2017 Le Mans 24 Hours Race Thread

It is finally race week for the 85th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. If you are reading this forum then you already know what kind of epic battle we will have at the sharp end of the field between Toyota, and Porsche. Toyota showed the pace at Test Day, but will that materialize in the heat of the competition, or does Porsche still have an ace up their sleeve?

LMP2 features 25 cars and many of them (the 12 Orecas) have a chance at victory. This won't be the first 24 hour race for the new cars, but it will be for the teams running them (except Rebellion, and Dragonspeed). The lone Riley looks like it is going to be nowhere near the front, but they got a podium at Daytona so anything is possible. Although i fell like the shear numbers of Orecas will make it hard for anybody else to have a shot.

The GT classes will be mega with Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, Aston Martin and Ford joining the party. Porsche is the only one with an entirely new car, so expect a good fight at the front. Hopefully the BOP is about right and we get the show we have grown accustomed to in this class.

I hope everyone has a great Le Mans week, the on track action will not disappoint!

Thank you for the race thread. I always feel bad never starting one, but I'd never get it right. Thanks for this!

With great timing, I seem to have caught the endurance bug again after some time away, and just in time for the big one. Long time no post/speak. I must admit I'm quite surprised to see how LMP1 has reduced to basically Porsche and Toyota.

I unfortunately will miss most of practice and quali because that pesky thing called work - no longer working from home and people have scheduled all sorts of things during those times.

Thanks for the links as always, joeb and deggis. I hope to view most of the 24 hrs at least. No random family visits this time....

Will be interesting to see how the high downforce Dallara setup compares to the dog of a low downforce one. Nederland were going to run both today.
